World Constitutions Illustrated

Attention! Attention! This is something you won't find anywhere else!

A new addition to the Law Library's HeinOnline subscription has been recently added. Check out the World Constitutions Illustrated link on the Hein Libraries page. This collection will contain the current constitution of every country in the world in its original language. Also included will be at least one English translation. For every constitutional document, researchers will find the original text, amending laws, consolidated text, and important related texts. A link to scholarly articles and commentary, providing a bibliography of select constitutional books available elsewhere is also included. Found in the initial release are more than 800 classic books on constitutions, constitutional history and jurisprudence, and political and economic history.

Additionally, HeinOnline is attempting to create the greatest constitutional collection in the world by bringing constitutional documents, periodical, works, and books together in one place. And, you have the opportunity to participate! If you have a book, constitutional document, suggestion for an article, or any other work that you would like to contribute to the project, HeinOnline wants to know. Submit your suggestions on the “Contribute to the Project” tab.
